Hi Dave! Sorry, but couldn't reply earlier, as I wasn't on the computer for whole X-mas long! I agree totally with what you write - and always did so, since the age of about 14/16 when evberybody called me nuts about my ideas... I never minded though as many still do! Today, at the age of 46...

congratulations!! And a very nice X-mas!! Ralf

our dinner card for the three days Well, we'll do it very easy this year...(both too much weight...!) 24th: Self-made potato-salad with special Slesian white-sausages and Vienna-sausages or Frankfurt-sausages and horse-raddish and mustard (taditionally the most common thing to eat on 24th here...

uuuiiihhh!!!!! that's nice!! Reminds me of my childhood days...when the christmas-child was coming soon.... We had, and I reckon they are still available here, also the four figures of Hänsel & Gretel & the Wich with the cat! We used to have an open chimney in the middle of the house's roof...

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's nice machine! How does it agitate? Oscillating or excentric circulating? Ralf

Hi Robert! That sounds interesting with the three tanks, but what a hugh circumstance and how space consuming either! Why then not use a TwinTub? Keeping the suds anyway and only uses adequate fresh rinse-water for each load! PLUS: two loads (actually even three loads, when counting the first...

Kidding?? I hope you are just kinnding, concerning DDT, Steve? No further comment to your article so far...! I had once fleas in my flat, which my dog brought in although had protection on it. I bought the same, longlasting spray that does the same thing to the pupae as mentioned above - they...

Really??? I've always been told by experts that washing golden rimmed dishes or glasses as well as old decor dishes which are not underglazed are not dishwasher proof. They will withstand a while but then suddenly will fade and disappear for ever... I do not put mine into the DW - because when...

Yes, I read that already in old texts from the time of the Third Realm (Hitler time) when the Nazis forced the electrification in Germany very much and it was said that "vaccuuming is the only hygenic way to keep a German house really clean and free of fleas as it draws the gaps between the...

Hi Dave, hi all the others here... Well, then I will give all my knowledge here, hoping it helps a littlebit, especially for you, Dave. First the facts: In the following I will explain the details only on COTTON as an example for other fabrics as well. Synthetics and other delicate fibres...

Hi Greg! and all of you thanks for your reply - would be nice to meet you one day - nothing against that idea - we also love to make new friends, especially a s my mate has lived in the States (and other parts of the world) for a while! I love to restore old houses and actually really need...

Silit and Tefal I use my two pressure cookers from Tefal and Silit only for stuff that needs very long cooking-times, like beef- and chicken-broth, beef-tongue, curly-kale (green cabbage), red cabbage, Sauerkraut, goulash or goulash-soup, my doggy's weekly stew (meat & veges) and stews/soups...

Hi Greg! You're not still free??? Would marry you straight away! Where could I make such a good catch again? (Just kidding) Well that's what I love - living in two times - and enjoy both! I will do with my next house, too! Mark, we had the same when I lived in Wiesbaden (near Frankfurt/Main)...

To Greg I'd be so proud of getting a house like that... Actually we are looking for somewhat equal here in Germany...but not easy to find... My advice, as I studied five semesters of architecture once, never try to renovate or "modernize" an old building! Means: do not try to make something...

What do you buy YOURSELF for Christmas? N O T H I N G..... Ralf

We dry our stuff in the attic - which has the same temperature like outside: -5°C this morning! But it dries quickly, as we keep the windows open there. Only time we use our cabinet-dryer is on those days when it is between 10°C and 0°C and misty and rainy so that the air is saturated with...

well... ...Hans (Rapunzel), you are so right to say so about us... can't add anything else. My mate and I have always troubles with our own nation, as Roland lived for more than 10 years in many countries arround the globe and even I lived for two years in Spain and have been a bit arround the...
